Letran’s McJour Luib excited to be under ‘winning coach’ Jeff Napa

Reigning NCAA seniors basketball champion Letran Knights could not get any more excited to start a new chapter with soon-to-be-named new mentor Jeff Napa and veteran guard McJour Luib is foremost among them.

“Gusto na nga namin magkaroon talaga ng (full-time) coach para mas makapag-practice na kami,” the 5-foot-10 Luib told FOX Sports on Sunday night after making his debut in the PCBL with Euro-Med which suffered a close 64-66 heart-breaker against Sta. Lucia at the Malolos Sports and Convention Center.

Luib, 22, who played an instrumental role in Letran’s impressive conquest of San Beda for the NCAA Season 91 seniors cage crown last October, admitted they have already moved on from their break-up with former mentor Aldin Ayo, who left them a month after to take on a new challenge with La Salle in the UAAP.

Luib and the rest of his fellow Knights will have a first glimpse of their new coach on Tuesday morning when the school management officially introduces Napa at Salon de Actos inside Letran’s main campus in Intramuros, Manila.

While the 6-foot-4 Sollano tallied 5 points and 2 boards in their opening-day loss in the PCBL, Luib, along with Quinto, went scoreless and even accounted a crucial error in the clutch, leading to Realtors guard Ken Salado’s go-ahead basket with 14.3 seconds left.
